It's late here, so I have just time for a few comments. Your grasp of fuseki seems very good for 13K - you had good balance through the first 20 moves. Work a little on joseki and you'll be several stones stronger. In particular, move 5 at N16 is stretching too far. O16 is most often played, though O17 and N17 have been seen too. A few other thoughts before my forehead bumps the keyboard: try to avoid the empty triangle shape ( http://senseis.xmp.net/?TheEmptyTriangleIsBad ), and avoid being on the receiving end of the hane at the head of two stones ( http://senseis.xmp.net/?HaneAtTheHeadOfTwoStones ) as happened at moves 11/12. |

Just a quick thought: You were pretty fortunate that your opponent didnt kill your lower left group with a move at A6 instead of A5. |

Regarding Black 5--I agree with Joaz that it is generally too loose. My comment is just sort of an aside: It amazes me that virtually every response to an approach (and virtually every approach) can be a good move depending on the overall position. Here is a game between Fujisawa Shuko (w) and Go Seigen (b) (white won by 2 points): And here is a game between Kato Masao and Hua Yigang in 1973, in which Masao uses the response: (full disclosure, Masao loses this game) Again, I completely agree that a bit tighter response is usually better, and this is an unusual move (27 pro games in my database of tens of thousands of games). Still, I thought it was interesting. |
